The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 246 The time when flowers bloom ([-])
Jia Min grabbed a chair and sat down.Baoyu and the others were originally sitting, but when they saw Jia Min sitting down, they stood up instead.

This old fourth min is so shady, maybe he is going to play tricks again, so don't be fooled by him.

"Jia Baoyu, I advise you, don't have too much contact with children from other aristocratic families in the future. I admit that you have no intention of harming others, but you can't guarantee that others have no intention of harming you."

"It may not be of much use for others to harm you, but they will use you to murder the Jia family."

What else to say to him?

Jia Min wanted to say it, but he also felt that it was useless to say it.Judging from Baoyu's current expression, Baoyu didn't take what he said to heart at all.

"Jia Huan, I know you think you're smart, so you can give advice behind your back. But let me tell you, you're all smart and useless. What you need to be a man is great wisdom. Throw a stone on your own foot."

Jia Min wanted to say a few more words about Jia Rong, but felt that he had nothing to say to him.As for Xue Pan, after all, it belongs to the guests. It seems that it is not good to say too much.

"Remember me, I won't die outside. If I come back in the future, let me know that you have done something sorry for the mansion, and I will not let you go. The ancestors are in the meeting hall, you go Bar."

Seeing that Jia Min finally spoke, several people quickly slipped away.Looking at the backs of several people, Jia Min felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

As soon as Jia Mu saw Baoyu, she immediately cried out heartily.Mrs. Wang also came over and looked at Baoyu up and down, for fear that something was missing from her body.

When Aunt Xue saw Xue Pan, although she complained, she also looked at her son carefully, as if she was afraid of losing some fast meat.

"Where is Sister Lin, is Sister Lin here?"

Hearing that sister Lin was with Ping'er, Baoyu passed by in a hurry.

Seeing the girls, Baoyu immediately became proud.

"I'm back, I'm fine, I don't need to go to Bukui to die. Hmph, only fools would go there."

When Baoyu said this, Ping'er and Qingwen's faces became ugly.Because they were also going to Bukui, it was really shameless to say such things in front of them.

"Ping'er, Qingwen, you are also from the mansion. Last night when the man beat us, you just watched from the sidelines. Are you in the same group? You were all good at first, why? As soon as you follow the fourth brother Min, you will learn badly?"

Ping'er was naturally angry in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't understand Baoyu, so he pulled Qingwen up, and the two went out.

"Why did the two of them leave? Did I say something wrong again? Miss Bao, Fourth Brother Min also put Brother Xue in a cage. Do you know who he is this time?"

"It was rumored that my aunt wanted to betroth you to him. Fortunately, there was no such thing. Otherwise, you would be in bad luck."

"Brother Bao, what nonsense are you talking about? The one on the left is unlucky and the one on the right is dead. It's all nonsense. My mother is in charge of my marriage, so it's other people's turn to make irresponsible remarks? "

After speaking, Baochai got up and went out.

"Brother Bao, stop talking, sit down and warm up."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Tanchun wanted to tell Baoyu to sit down and not talk too much.

Seeing that Daiyu's face was unfriendly, Baoyu ignored him, and Baoyu felt that there seemed to be something wrong, so he didn't say anything.But I was still a little puzzled.

What happened to Ping'er, Qingwen, and Miss Bao?I didn't offend them, did I?
People in Jia Minliu's house had lunch here, and Jia's mother saw that he had let Baoyu and the others go, and felt that it was not good to refute his face.I also felt that the girls were bored in the mansion every day, and finally came out to relax, and I wanted them to play here for a while, so I agreed.

The girls were all right, so they went to the flower room again.After lingering for a while, I arrived at the river outside the gate.At this time, the river was frozen, and the ice surface was smooth and bright, so we played on the ice.

For a while, Yingying Yanyan was very lively.

Yuanyang also played on the ice for a while, and saw Ping'er standing by the river looking a little unhappy, so she came over to talk to Ping'er.

"Do you really want to go to Bukui with Fourth Master?"

"How could I not go? The fourth master is poor, and Qingwen is careless. If I don't go, who else will care about his life?"

"I heard it's dangerous there."

"Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, so what? There are always people there. If others can live, why can't we live? With Fourth Master here, we won't be asked to die."

"Besides, if the fourth master leaves, what might happen to this mansion? We all follow the fourth master. Someone will take the opportunity to liquidate us, maybe it will."

No matter how good Yuanyang and Ping'er's personal relationship is, it's hard to talk about it here.

"You are a redeemer, and no one can do anything to you. It's a good thing that Qingwen followed. Oh, don't talk about that, did you hear what was said in the mansion recently?"

"I'm not going to the mansion again, how do I know what's going on?"

"That is to say, it was rumored that people had nothing to do and guessed it. Later, the rumor was refuted, and the rumors disappeared in the past two days."

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, and you will come around in circles with me."

"It's nothing, it's just about fourth master's marriage."

Therefore, Yuanyang told Ping'er about Jia Min's marriage.

After hearing this, Ping'er felt bad for fourth master.After a moment of silence, a sneer appeared on his face.

"People in this world are more icing on the cake than giving charcoal in the snow. Others look down on fourth master, but who knows if fourth master can take a fancy to them?"

"Anyway, the fourth master is also from the capital of the third rank. His fame and fame are all earned by his own ability. He led the army regiment and wiped out the bandits who have been doing harm for many years in a blink of an eye. That is The Ma family and the Chen family are now in a state of disarray, with such ability, can you find one from all over the house?"

"With such a snobbish eye, fourth master still looks down on them. Fourth master has a bright future. What kind of people can't find them in the future? I'm afraid that at that time, some people will regret it before it's too late."

As Ping'er said that, he felt that he looked down on Baochai and Shi Xiangyun.It turned out that she had a good impression of the two of them, but now, in her eyes, the image of the two of them has almost plummeted.

"Hey, after all, the elders are the ones who decide the matter of marriage. Even if the younger generation has the heart, there is nothing they can do."

"Even if it's powerless, it's not enough to spread the word? Now that the two houses know about it, they keep the fourth master in the dark. Isn't the fourth master a joke in the eyes of others? No, I have to tell the fourth master Master. Otherwise, if others play the fourth master, he will still treat him as a good person. "

After saying that, Ping'er didn't care about Yuanyang, went to Jia Min and told what he heard from Yuanyang.

After hearing this, Jia Min felt both warm and sad.

What's warm is that Ping'er still cares about her and has one heart with her, and she can even tell herself this kind of thing outspokenly.

The sad thing is that at this time, almost everyone in the mansion knows about it, only I am still kept in the dark.

Shi Xiangyun was fine, he didn't care about this matter in the first place.It was Baochai who disappointed him.

Even if I get to Bukui, so what?Could it be that he really died there?What a joke.Even if I don't come back, can't I do something there?Do you have to be in a first-tier city like the imperial capital to be successful?
No wonder Aunt Xue was cold and indifferent to me, and Baochai was also polite to me. Is that so?Besides, I locked Xue Pan in a cage and asked him to go to Bukui, so he was naturally unwilling.

I thought it was for the good of Xue Pan and the Xue family, but they might not think so.I'm a little wishful thinking.

It turns out that Keqing sent me a letter to tell me to think about everything, and this was what I was referring to.

Qin Keqing didn't come today, but she sent her maid, Baozhu, to ask Fourth Uncle Min for two pots of flowers.Baozhu brought me a message, saying that it was Grandma Rong who asked Fourth Master to be more open about things.

Thinking about it now, Qin Keqing was referring to the rumors about Jia Min's marriage.

Baochai played with others on the ice for a while, and then reached the shore by herself.The snow that just fell a few days ago has not melted yet, and when you step on it, it creaks when you walk.Her mood also fluctuated with the sound.

Aunt Xue was going to propose marriage to Jia Min, and she had told her beforehand, and she agreed.

Unexpectedly, when she was full of expectations, the news that Jia Min was going to Ninggu Pagoda came.Later came the news that he was finally going to Pukui.

While Baochai was still hesitating, Aunt Xue had already made up her mind and gave up her original idea of ​​proposing marriage.

However, since he intentionally released rumors in the mansion, he quickly refuted the rumors and put out the fire.By the time Baochai found out, it was too late.

At this time, Baochai felt a little shaken in her heart, and because Aunt Xue did this, she couldn't say anything, and she couldn't explain anything to Jia Min, so the matter was delayed.

However, in my heart, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter, so I seem to be sorry for Fourth Brother Min.After all, I had hinted at Fourth Brother Min at the beginning.

I wanted to explain it to Jia Min, but there were too many people talking and I didn't have a chance.Even if you have the opportunity, where do you start?It's better not to talk about it for now, so as to avoid embarrassment for each other.When I have a chance in the future, I will explain it again.

As for what to explain, she was also in a mess right now, and she didn't even think about it.I can only sigh in my heart while thinking about it.

Soon it was time to call for dinner, and the girls went back.When I met Jia Min at the entrance of the dining hall, Jia Min just nodded to her as a greeting.On the expression, it is hard to tell whether it is cold or hot.However, when the two of them were together in the past, it always felt quite different.

Baochai guessed in his heart that Brother Min must have heard about those rumors, and that's why he was like this.When the eyes were hot, they almost shed tears.Not daring to be seen by others, he bowed his head and hurried into the dining hall.

During the meal, Jia Min went to the table to toast, and he was casual with everyone else, but he was polite with Baochai.Baochai didn't taste much of this meal.

After eating, he said goodbye and left.Jia Min sent everyone to the car.Still talking and laughing with everyone else, but only nodded with Baochai.

Finally, when the car got out of the gate, a gust of wind blew, and I couldn't help it anymore, and shed tears.Tanchun asked her what was wrong, and the only excuse was that sand got into her eyes.Weeping all the way back to the mansion.

In the past at this time, Baochai was always in the East Flower Hall, but today when she arrived in the East Flower Hall, she didn't stay, and went home directly, lying on the bed and weeping secretly.
